'It was really the star of this booth,' he told the outlet. Gamson, a Koons fan, was walking around Art Wynwood with a friend when he spotted the blue balloon dog sculpture sitting on an acrylic stand. Koons, an American artist, is known for his pop culture references and depictions of everyday objects one of his most expensive artworks sold - his sculpture 'Rabbit' – for $91.1 million. The small sculpture is then seen being swept away by staff carefully as the crowd begins to disappear. 'It's not a Ming vase at least,' said another. 'I can't believe somebody would knock that over 2 minutes ago,' another bystander can be heard saying, a notable sound of bewilderment in his tone. Staff at the exhibit were seen asking people to 'step back' from the piece as one bystander offered to purchase part of the smashed object commenting 'if you want to sell the tail.' 'It's the most popular booth in the whole fair,' Gamson is heard saying to the woman off camera as he continues to pan across the scene. One bystander appeared emotional at the site of the broken sculpture, while one woman noted: 'You see now that is the new art installation, everything is art.' Some are heard saying 'this is exciting' while others were seen jumping over the destroyed work of art in a bid to avoid creating more debris of electric blue porcelain. Onlookers gawked at the smashed pieces of porcelain littered at across the floor of the Miami art space in the video. 'When this thing fell to the ground, it was like how a car accident draws a huge crowd on the highway,' Gamson said.
